Catenaa, Thursday, July 03, 2025- Units.Network, a Layer-1 blockchain project built on the Waves Protocol, has secured $10 million in fresh capital from Nimbus Capital, the digital asset investment arm of In On Capital, which manages more than $1.3 billion in assets.
The funding will power Units.Network’s expansion into on-chain artificial intelligence infrastructure, with a focus on two AI-centric tools: an AI Launchpad and an AI Liquidity Manager.
The company said these features are designed to help developers and traders deploy intelligence-driven products and access fairer, data-informed markets.
Sasha Ivanov, founder of Units.Network and creator of Waves Protocol, said the investment enables the company to scale validator operations and enhance cross-chain liquidity rails while bringing practical AI utility to the blockchain space. “This investment allows us to place practical artificial intelligence at the center of our ecosystem,” Ivanov said.
Units.Network is aiming to position itself at the heart of the fast-growing AI-blockchain convergence, a market projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2029, up from $0.7 billion this year.
The project has also launched a DAO-backed performance grant program, offering rewards to developers whose apps exceed $1 million in total value locked (TVL). This move, combined with the launch of its AI tool suite, is expected to attract builders and accelerate ecosystem growth.
Robert Baker, managing partner at Nimbus Capital, said Units.Network stood out for delivering real-world blockchain utility in a sector filled with hype.
